Is it only the corrosion resistance , or lack of it, or is something else.
Lack of corrosion resistance, wet conditions where wiping down a blade means NOTHING because everything is soaked to the core. Sometimes you just CAN'T oil and dry a knife. Beyond that, modern stainless like S35VN blow most carbon steels out of the water in pretty much every category.
carbon steel knives with scandi edges are used for century´s in the scandinavian part of the world,or wherever in the northern world, a lot of wet and cold
circumstances are going on there
They were used for centuries because they had nothing else. Do you REALLY think, that given the choice between two knives, one made of 1095 and the other made of CTS-XHP, an ancient explorer would go with the one that needs constant maintenance and will decay over time more readily? I somehow don't think so. It's the same as how when we discovered copper tools we gave up using flint.
so for me it´s not an issue to use carbon steel,also to my feeling no stainless steel can compete with a well HT carbon
steel blade,especially with a scandi edge,as well for edge holding also for cutting capabilities,maintainance is very easy,put it dry in the sheath,even a wet stainless steel knife will rust in his sheath if not maintained.
I'm afraid then that you're feeling isn't scientifically correct here. In pretty much all aspects, modern stainless are equal or SUPERIOR to even the best treated carbon steel. The only way to get around that is something like CPM-M4, and even then, the stuff basically ROTS if not treated like a living thing.
And you CAN'T always "put it away dry" What if it's raining, or snowing, or just plain WET? I've been in situations where I couldn't dry my knives because there was NOTHING TO DRY THEM WITH. I didn't need to worry, because S30V don't mind being soaked.
And as for them rusting in the sheath: Not really as much as you'd think, no. I've put away PLENTY of soaked stainless, often dirty, bloody, or covered in fish guts. It can stay like that for a good week or two before I need to clean it up. I'd take S35VN over almost any other steel I could be offered. The stuff is tough like A2, stainless like S30V, sharpens like 14c28n Sandvik, and holds an edge like 440V.
Trying to get me to use carbon steel is like trying to get me to drive a model T ford instead of a Tesla. No thanks, I'll take the space-age car.
